Abstract

In some embodiments, a modular cutting system may include a crush-cutting unit configured to receive a label web from a printer and to cut through an adhesive layer of the label web towards an outer surface of the label web. In some embodiments, the system may include a support bracket configured for being mounted to a label printer. The system may include a tamp system. The tamp system may be configured for being mounted to the support bracket. The crush-cutting unit may be mounted to the support bracket. The system may include a printer configured for printing at least one of an image and text on the label web. The system may include an anvil positioned to hold the label web in place when the label web may be disposed between the anvil and the crush-cutting unit. The anvil may be positioned above the crush-cutting unit.
